Getting started with QuoteCloud

Series rooms and tour packages, quoted and signed

Rooms for every departure in one series agreement, and accommodation packaged into the tour operator's own quotes.

Hotels use QuoteCloud to send tour operators a series agreement: each departure's rooms, nights and rate in the price table, release and cut-off terms, and a signature. Tour operators use it the other way: packaging accommodation, transport and activities into their own tour quotes, with a deposit paid when the traveller or group signs.

A coach route along a coast with four stops; the stop at a fictional resort, Lantern Quay Coral Cove, covers nights 3 and 4 in the series allotment. Below it, 12 departures from 5 April to 20 September 2027 with 18 rooms each, then two cards: the hotel's series agreement LQ-S-0627 to the tour operator, signed, and the operator's group tour contract WC-T-1180 to its group, with a $7,867.86 deposit paid.

One trade, two contracts, both in QuoteCloud

The hotel contracts rooms for a season of departures. The tour operator packages those nights into its own contract with a group. Each side sends, tracks and gets its own document signed.

A group tour contract with the hotel nights inside

The operator's own document on its own letterhead: the tour priced per traveller, the single supplement, an optional reef cruise and a 10% deposit when the club signs.

Payments: Essentials and up

Both businesses are fictional. QuoteCloud holds no allotment and has no GDS, bed-bank or channel connection: the rooms stay in the hotel's reservations system, and each side types its own figures or sends them through the API.

The operator's group tour contract, part by part

Wayfarer Coast Tours quoting the Ashgrove Walking Club: six days, 34 travellers, two nights at Coral Cove from the series allotment.

  1. Operator edits

    Their tour, their brand

    The operator's own letterhead, cover photo and dates. A tour operator runs its own QuoteCloud account; the hotel's name appears only where the operator puts it.

  3. Where they stay

    The nights listed in the notes, with the hotel nights matching the series departure. Margaret's question about the walk is answered in a comment.

    Your stays

    • Nights 1 and 2: a rainforest lodge in the hills.
    • Nights 3 and 4: Lantern Quay Coral Cove Resort, ocean-side twin rooms, breakfast included.
    • Night 5: a harbour hotel near the airport for an easy flight home.

    Margaret LoweTwo of our members use walking poles. Is the rainforest walk gentle?

    Grant, WayfarerYes, the boardwalk is flat and about 2 km. We'll let the guide know.

A season of departures in one agreement

The series agreement lists every departure: arrival and check-out, the season and its rate, the rooms and the release date, which falls 21 days before each arrival. The price table groups the room nights by season with a subtotal for each, plus breakfast for the travellers.

There's nothing to pay on signing, so the series summary shows beside the operator's signature. Each departure is invoiced by the hotel.

  • One price-table section per season, with subtotals
  • Release and allotment terms as content
  • Signature with a summary instead of a deposit

Tour operator and series questions, answered

Can one agreement cover a whole season of departures?

Yes. List the departures in the agreement with their dates, rooms and release dates, and group the room nights by season in the price table with a subtotal for each. The allotment and release are your written terms; the rooms stay in your reservations system.

Does QuoteCloud connect to a GDS, bed bank or allotment system?

No. There is no GDS, wholesale channel, bed-bank or allotment integration, and QuoteCloud doesn't check availability. Your team types the rooms and rates, or your own system sends them as price-table rows through the QuoteCloud API.

Can a tour operator use QuoteCloud for its own group contracts?

Yes, in its own account and on its own letterhead: the tour priced per traveller, supplements, optional extras the group ticks, its booking conditions, a signature and a deposit on signing through Stripe or PayPal.

Can we send next season's rates to all our operators?

Yes. Bulk send, on Essentials and above with volume-based costs, sends a personalised copy of one template to each operator, and you see who has opened, commented or signed each copy.

Is there a payment when the series is signed?

Only if you set one. A series agreement can be signed with no payment, showing a summary instead. If you want a deposit, set it as a percentage or a fixed amount; later departures are invoiced by the hotel, not by QuoteCloud.
